Princess, Brandi's quoting Keats so I have to go with the Arab poets: If you can count a man's faults (as opposed to not being able to count them because he has too many) he has done enough to be called noble. Think of the "help" that way.

RG, I had had no idea that it was ever dry up there until you mentioned it here, and now I know about dry summers being the norm, another surprise. The fires unfortunately made the news, but I heard no mention of dry weather. They could have been started by lighting from ran clouds for all we knew. The reality of these fires is so terrible, not the inevitability or the necessity, we all hear about that, but the individual event itself. The Bastrop fires here were terrible, wrenching events. I know you all have one and constantly revise it, but a real, exquisitely executable evacuation strategy is so important, but people there also found that an instant comes when you have to forget that, throw paper bags with bunns in them in the car and DRIVE. Heaven forbid your experiencing such a thing. Congratulations on the rain and hopefully years and years of more seasonable weather to follow.
